British workers are reported as having the highest levels of stress in Europe; indeed 1 in 5 workers (around 5 million people) is affected by stress. The cost to Britain’s economy is broadly estimated at approximately 6.7 million working days lost each year – valued at between £3.7–£3.8 billion. As recently as 14th October 2002 the TUC launched a campaign “Tackle the Hassle” designed to focus on the 270,000 people per year who go sick, and the cost to British Companies of around£538 per employee.Published
